One major reason why the Playstation VITA is better than the 3DS

Analog sticks... nuff said. Theres no way you can despute this, but you can try.

Now all it needs is some amazing actual games to use them

I dont see any announced that i like so far, so that would be a 4-5 years wait for me as it seems, until it gets some amazing RPG

Are you sure having analog sticks is better for handheld gaming?

At what point does a game become to complex to be a real effective handheld game? The simplicity of modern smartphones and tablets forces game developers to keep their games simple and easy to control allowing them to be great mobile games.

The best mobile games are the ones you don't have to sit there and be immersed in but are ones you can play little bit throughout the day with the occasional gaming session.

The problem with the Vita is the fact that it's trying to be a portable console in a market dominated by smartphones and touchscreen devices which offer far better mobile gaming. Do you ever wonder why it's not selling really well in Japan?

What a terrible thread

Or Full Custom Soundtracks, Party System and Cross Game Chat. Seriously though the 3DS is a good system but yeah after the PSP, it's really puzzling that Nintendo didn't put them in.FlamesOfGrey

Thankfully yes

I don't think we'll see dedicated mic communication on Wii U... Second_Hokage

We'll just have to wait and see

I tried putting analog sticks in my vita, but it just won't play!

Try sales, that might work

2 sticks is great. Many handheld games thus far kick ass with 1 though.

Then explain the PSP. Until the launch of the Vita, it was selling very well and console style games were successful for the platform.

Vita's problem isn't other mobile devices, so much as the fact that it's biggest launch title in Japan was Hot Shots Golf.

Nah. The DS didn't even have analog sticks and it was way ahead of the PSP.

Developers may be able to develop games despite lack of analog, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. It either means the developer simply doesn't try to make games that really need the use of the analog, or they release them despite camera issues. Hence 3rd Birthday and FF Type-0 both needing dual analog.

is it?

ANOTHER major reason it's better: it's not selling, so you won't have a problem finding one. :)

The best reason I can think of for why it's better is how big it is. It's size pretty much warrants a purchase of a carry bag to hold it in, and those can be quite stylish.

You'll be the talk of the town wearing one of those.

ouch, nice one lol

Um one can debate that easily analog sticks as in 2 doesn't inherently make something better its along the same line of argument that some hermits use that because its on pc it inherently has better gameplay when this is a completely debatable and subjective opinion gameplay will always be completely subjective.

that dude just failed hard :lol:

When those analog sticks wear out, we'll start talking. The one thing I worry about Vita is since it doesn't have a clamshell design, how does one expect the analog sticks not to gather lint, and be ruined from moving around in your pocket when you walk or in your bags? Either way, dual analog would be nice, but it's not necessary, and so far I haven't seen it needed in any game I play. yoshi_64

I for one do not like the size of Vita for a handheld. I remember there being complaints by some about the 3DS not fitting in pockets very well. Imagine fiting somethign bigger that also has the 2 analog sticks sticking out of it.

I would be more interested if Sony was trying to make a handheld and not a smaller console with its own screen. I have my consoles for console gaming and my handheld for handheld gaming. Also...are people excited for the two touch screens on the back of Vita? I know they can have some cool uses but to me it seems more like sony saying "3DS has 1 touch screen...hahaha we have 3, TAKE THAT!"

No. You're an idiot OP.

You definitly didn't play MGS: PW or Monster Hunter (which makes 2nd analog on touch screen, not ot mention Metroid games do the same), lack of 2nd analog stick is what backfired PSP and will backfire 3DS (DS didn't able to pull 3d grafics good enoth to make such games) because most 3D games require camera turning or aiming, Nintendo suppriced me to reapet Sony mistake after they added better hardware in par of PSP or better that will make games that will require camera turning.

For fun fact Nintendo needed to come to Monster Hunter developers to understand at, they understood that and what we got now? extra attachment with 2nd stick on Monster Hunter relese! Dont be suppriced to see 2nd stick on 2nd edition of hardware

Throwing away 2nd analog stick to make limit developer to do smaller portable games is just stupid, 2 analog sticks can be used in many other ways (katamari for example?) and having move and camera controls doesn't mean the game is not good for portable

Statements like that just proofs how people can say stupid things just to bush something, 2nd analog stick is advancment over 3DS whtevery you like it or not, not to mention Nintendo seems to wake up and giving signs that they trying to catching up on that when they discovered that 3DS is in same hole where PSP was, which is shouder button analog stick function switching hell

It would sell even worse if all it did was play games that were similar to smart phones. Very few people would choose a Vita over a smartphone.

OH my! I ams teh buyin' Vita right MEOWs! Dual Analogs!!... like 2 of D'EM....

3DS is DOOM3D!

:P

Seriously though.... think I'll "stick" with my 3DS... it has the games I want, Vita doesnt.

Actually it kind of confirms it, as it's a big fat "nuh uh" to all the sheep who were saying a touchscreen was better for control than a second analog stick.

One major reason why the 3DS is better than the Vita:

The games.

I'll always say it's a mean little piece of hardware for sure. It has guts.

Edit: Now if developers can use it lol :D
